The Miami Marlins are acquiring shortstop/second base prospect Echedry Vargas, shortstop Max Acosta and left-hander Brayan Mendoza from the Texas Rangers on Tuesday night in exchange for third baseman/first baseman Jake Burger, according to a source. The Marlins continue their full-on rebuild this offseason. The top name in the deal coming back to Miami is Vargas, who was ranked as the Rangers' No. 17 prospect on MLB Pipeline. Vargas is only 19 years old, so he's unlikely to be a realistic option for a big-league promotion for at least a couple years. The Dominican infielder spent all of 2024 at Single-A Down East, slashing .276/.321/.454 with a .775 OPS, 14 homers, 48 RBI, 29 steals and 65 runs in 97 games. Vargas has surprising power for a 5-foot-11, 170-pounder but may need to cut his swing down as he advances up the minors. For now, he's just one to watch in dynasty/keeper formats.

Echedry Vargas Heating Up For Single-A Down East
Texas Rangers infield prospect Echedry Vargas turned in a torrid week for Single-A Down East that helped him earn Carolina League Hitter of the Week honors. Vargas, the Rangers' No. 18 prospect is showing off his skills at Single-A this year with 12 homers, 38 RBI, and 19 steals while hitting .274. The 19-year-old is turning heads with his recent performance and profiles as a complete hitter with good power potential and plus speed on the basepaths. A promotion could soon be in the cards for the right-handed swinger who has five multi-hit efforts in his last six games.

Echedry Vargas Tallies Three Hits And Hits Second Long Ball
Texas Rangers infield prospect Echedry Vargas went 3-for-4 at the plate on Wednesday with his second home run of the season. Across his first extended look at Single-A, the 19-year-old has posted a .242/.290/.403 slash line with four stole bases. Vargas spent most of last season with the Rookie League and only played one game at Single-A, where he flashed his elite power and speed combination with 11 long balls, 17 swiped bags, and a .317/.388/.568 line. MLB Pipeline ranks Vargas as the 16th overall prospect in the Texas system and projects him to reach the major leagues in 2027. However, with how he is performing at Single-A, he could easily climb through the Texas system and develop into one of their top prospects. Dynasty fantasy managers should continue to monitor him to see if he can continue to showcase his power and speed combination.
